James Cameron's 'Avatar: Fire And Ash' To Be The Longest Film In The Franchise

Los Angeles, March 9 - James Cameron's sci-fi epic Avatar: The Way of Water is among the longest films ever with a theatrical runtime of 3 hours and 12 minutes. Well, the maverick filmmaker seems to be in no mood to make shorter films anymore as his next is even longer.

The third Avatar instalment - Avatar: Fire And Ash is set to be longer than The Way of Water, confirmed by the director himself. While the exact runtime is not revealed yet, Cameron revealed in an interview with Empire magazine that the next film will be a bit longer.



The Avatar films are anyway longer than most of the Hollywood titles as the first film of the franchise, released in 2009, was 2 hours and 58 minutes long and is the highest-grossing film in the history of the worldwide box office while The Way of Water holds the record for third biggest grosser ever.

One can't expect less when it comes to Avatar movies and, unsurprisingly, the expectations are high from Fire And Ash which debuts in cinemas worldwide later this year in December. Cameron has already hyped the movie by calling it better than the first two films and it will be much more high on action.

There are, at least, two more films in the franchise after Fire And Ash - both scheduled to hit the screens in December 2029 and December 2031, respectively.
